I am a Gentoo user, but ever since 2.6.32-rc, my laptop's LVDS display also goes blank during KMS initialization.
I am pretty sure the kernel crashes too shortly after KMS starts. At least I cannot ssh into the machine.
I am stuck on 2.6.31 unless upstream figures it out. Hopefully Ubuntu can get their attention.
The kernel does boot if I disable KMS, but then I cannot start X, because the intel drivers require KMS now.
Interestingly, if I disable ACPI (acpi=off) then KMS works on 2.6.32+ and I can even boot into X. But this is not a solution, because then my laptops power saving features are disabled, and it crashes when closing the lid (triggering an ACPI event).
My laptop's hardware: 855gm video running i915 driver. Dell 700m.
